When I got this I was told it was Flavescens, but it probably isn't, Seems the standards are too white, and not dark enough striations on the hafts. Also this has a darker edge on the falls that Flavescens doesn't seem to have. Any ideas would be appreciated. I really love this old one and wish I could find it's name.

Tom ~ How tall is it?

Tom ~ Could it be Dancing Bride?



Nah...It needs to be older. I'll look more later.

That yellow edge is really quite fetching... It also has those nice crimped edges.. Do you have a sense of it's age? have you asked Arlyn?

I sent Arlyn a rhizome some years ago, and he confirmed it's not Flavescens, but no ID. It was one of my first historic irises that I got when I just started collecting them.

And I still don't know I'm thinking I'll post a copy of the pic...plus a few that I've taken...on the HIPS site...see if anything pops up

Thanks Arlyln.

Tom ~ Why don't you send an email to Mary at Bluebird Haven? She might be able to help.

Arlyn ~ Did you find anything out?

There were a couple suggestions made....but *something* seems wrong with all of them.I posted some more "dissection "- type pix, and we're still looking.
